Asian American Stories of Resilience and Beyond

Malditas

By Bree Nieves

Two Filipinx cousins meet in a rural Florida cemetery and grapple with what remains of their hometown dreams, after the loss of one of their fathers during the pandemic. Combining interviews, archival and verité, the film explores the tension between losing a parent in a highly Catholic Filipino community, the foreverness of childhood, and the possibilities of growing deeper in faith through grief while in the most conservative county in North Florida. Silver Winner, 2nd Annual Anthem Awards, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion - Partnership or Collaboration.
